“Did I really want to call myself Swiss if it meant shutting the door on less "perfect" residents?”

“By the time the Freedom Flights, to use the US description, came to an end, more than 260,000 Cubans had been airlifted to the United States, every one of them registered by the Swiss before they left Cuba.”

“In a very humbling process, the Swiss have had to admit to their faults and compromise on secrecy, changing the law and releasing the names of bank clients to please the US, as well as signing a dozen double taxation agreements in six months to please the OECD.”

“It is not against the law to drink in public places, and you will see people drinking in parks or by the lake. The Swiss have a more relaxed attitude to alcohol consumption. From the age of 16, young people can be served beer or wine in a bar.”

I had no idea goodreads was social media style with friends and everything. Think I will enjoy when I get the hang of it.
Keep in touch.
Hello! I see you're following Margaret Atwood too. The Handmaid's Tale is one of my favourite dystopian novels. When/if you work out how to use Goodreads, give us a shout, will you?
